Class II-III South Fork Fortymile River, AK

Fortymile National Wild and Scenic River -South Fork Fortymile River (Confluence with Mosquito and Dennison Forks to Confluence with North Fork and Main Stem)

The Fortymile River is a clear water stream whose six main forks and their tributaries flow out of the Yukon-Tanana Uplands east of the Mertie Mountains and north of the Tanana State Forest. It is a major tributary of the Yukon River.

Road-accessible boat launch sites and bush strips in the upper reaches allow trips varying from one day to two weeks. The main Fortymile offers a great way to see the differing landscapes of the interior of Alaska in a two-day float, from incised canyons to the wide-open Yukon Valley.
